Default Re: Aged chicken manure compost or rabbit compost?

I would use both, If i had access to both.

Chicken manure can be hot when its fresh. From what I understand, chicken manure has a higher Nitrogen content. My father mixes wood pellets that expand into this chicken manure also a lot of chicken feed makes in into his piles. He will let it age, then put down a lawyer of ages horse manure some straw/hay then the aged chicken manure on top. After which he empty's last years potted plants on top of it all and plants.

If I could get both by the truck load. I would do a think layer of rabbit, then chicken over it. I am more of the lasagna framing method vs mixing it all up.
